WASHINGTON. February 26.-It rs
said ON GOOD authority that the Presl-
dent does not consider that there is
ANYTHING in the law which requires him
TO appoint the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners before the adjournment
Of Congress, or which makes it necos-
sary that the Senate should be espe-
cially called together in case he finds 1t
inexpedient to make the appointments
until after adjournment There have
been several opinions on the questicnas
TO the Presidents authority to hill new
ly.created offices during the recess OF
Congress. Acknowledgement Stansberry
made an elaborate review OF this ques-
ton August 30, 1856, and held in sub
stance that the President has full and
independent power to fill vacancies in
recess of the Senate without any limita-
ton as 10 the time when they first oc-
Cured. Two years later, August IL, 1858,
Attorney General Evarts, in an opinion
on the subject, adopted Mr.. Stansber-
rvs construction, and said that where
an Office is created by law taking effect
during the session of the Senate, and
no nomination is made thereto,
the Office can be filed by Executive
appointment during the recess OF the
Senate. Acknowledgement Williams
gave an opinion ON the same question
April a, 1875. He reviewed the opln-
ions of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Stansberry
ana Evarts, and fully approved their
construction Of the law, adding that he
considered them as settling the ques-
ton. Another opinion on this subject
was rendered by Attorney-General De-
vens June Is, 1880. He reviewed the
question at length in all its aspects,
and concurred in the views expressed
bv his predecessors in Office. He said
Moreover that the law as construed
by them had been q construction in
practice which had been uniformly
adopted since the time of President
Monroe. Attorney-General Garland,
it is said, has also adopted the views OF
Messrs. StansbeTy, Eyarts, Williams
and Devers, Senator Shermanis among
those Ybo hold that the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners may be ap-
pointed by the President after the ad,
iournment of the Senate, and may bolc

shall act upon their nominations, the
same as if vacancy were created by

CHARLESTON, w. Va, February 90
After the Joint assembly was dissolved
last night bills were rushed through in
both houses without debate, but with
all haste. The appropriations bill was
not passed by the Senate, and without
the necessary Doodle the wheels of gov
eminent will be seriously retarded in
their progress, if they do not entirely
cease to revolve. A call for an extra
session was circulated this morning, but
so many of the members had left last
night for their homes that the neces-
sary four fifths could not be found to
sign. 1t is known, however, that
the Governor is in favor Of an extra
session, as some bills of vital inn
portance were not passed, and before
the adjournment he was heard to say
that should these bills not be passed he
would call an extra session in April.
The ACCESSIBILITY of an extra session to
continue balloting for senator has been
discussed to-day, but the general opin-
ion is that it cannot legislate on any
matters except those recommended by
the Governor and when "A member of
the State government and personal
friend of Governor Wilson was asked
by your correspondent if the Governor
would recommend another ballot for
senator he smilingly replied "Not
much.
